Job 39:26 in Context — Job 39

24 Sacudido-se com furor, ele escarva a terra; ele não fica parado ao som da trombeta.

25 Ao som das trombetas diz: Eia! E desde longe cheira a batalha, o grito dos capitães, e o barulho.

26 Por acaso é por tua inteligência que o gavião voa, [e] estende suas asas para o sul?

27 Ou é por tua ordem que a água voa alto e põe seu ninho na altura?

28 Nas penhas ela mora e habita; no cume das penhas, e em lugares seguros.
